PLEASE HELP!

A Cadillac Escalade car and a Mini Cooper car are both making a sharp right turn. The Escalade is four times more massive than the Mini Cooper. If both cars make the turn with the same constant speed, how do the centripetal forces acting on the two cars compare? Hint: use the Fc equation to consider how increasing the mass will affect the force.
The centripetal force cannot be determined without more information.
The centripetal force on the Mini Cooper is four times greater than that of the Cadillac Escalade.
The centripetal force on the Cadillac Escalade is four times greater than that of the Mini Cooper.
The centripetal force is the same for both cars.
